[Garak Restaurant] A Vietnamese Restaurant with a Deep, Flavorful Broth

Hello :)

JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery,

giving back through results.

With the weather suddenly turning colder, these days I keep finding myself craving only warm broth.

So today’s review is of 'Pho Brothers' Garak branch, a popular restaurant in Garak-dong.

Let’s get started?

Pho Brothers Garak branch, tucked in among countless sushi restaurants.

The interior is neat.

The clean open kitchen also stands out.

There are bar seats like this too, so it looks good for eating alone as well.

Maybe because we went a little early,

the place is still fairly quiet.

Let’s get seated and look at the menu.

Wrap menu.

If you choose beef, smoked duck, or pork neck,

a generous wrap platter is prepared.

There are also set menus that include rice noodles.

Next are the pages for pu pad pong curry, bun cha,

and tom yum goong soup.

These are dishes with strong aromas.

The rice noodles we’re eating today!

We ordered the seafood rice noodles,

which are known for their refreshing broth.

Stir-fried noodle page.

Stir-fried rice noodles are also packed with umami.

Fried rice is a must too.

We ordered one noodle dish and one rice dish,

and for the rice dish we chose charcoal-grilled pork rice bowl and cha gio.

The items that come out as appetizers.

There’s a sampler, as well as egg rolls, cha gio, gỏi cuốn, and more.

We decided on the chili wings!

The salad and pickles that come with the order.

And the indispensable pickled onions.

The salad had a delicious nutty dressing.

Plump, sturdy wings.

They were nicely cooked.

While we were happily eating those, the main dishes came out.

Seafood rice noodles loaded with plenty of seafood.

The broth was rich and refreshing, and it was delicious.

Perfect for weather like this.

It would also be great for hangover relief.

Can you see how much meat there is?

Plenty of meat and fluffy rice.

The meat was seasoned sweetly, almost like ribs.

It also had a good charcoal-grilled flavor.

The crispy cha gio is even better when dipped in the sauce.

These days, it feels like many rice noodle restaurants have changed a lot in taste,

but this place is one of my favorite rice noodle spots because everything on the menu is delicious.

No matter what you order, it’s at least above average.

A quiet, clean atmosphere is a bonus!!

That was my honest review of Pho Brothers, a Garak-dong rice noodle restaurant.
